pySM update
It has been a long time since there has been any followup on this blog. This because there where some other issues that urgently needed my attention.
This said, I am delighted to announce that the pysm website has had an update.
http://wiki.pysm.be will now contain the wiki.
http://blog.pysm.be will now contain the project blog.
http://trac.pysm.be will now contain the project source code.
and http://www.pysm.be will serve as some kind of portal for all of these subdomains.
Also I've suggested a name change for pySM from "Python Server management" to "Python System management".
With kind regards,
Tim
The official pySM (python server managem…
The official pySM (python server management) website is finally online an can be visited at http://www.pysm.be
I finally managed to finalize the webserver as an beta version and am currently working on a template system for the frontend.
The current template can also be seen on the pySM website.
I know, this was a short post, just to keep you all informed, but I promise i'll be back soon with more.
With kind regards,
Tim
pySM frontend
I know, I know...
It has been a long time since I've posted an update here but hey, no one is perfect 
Altough I had no time to post, I did have the time to program a little more on pySM.
The progress I've made in these few days is magnificent. I've managed to write a simple config interface and totally excited by the fact how easy it is to implement this "shizzle" with python, the fact I've made a configparser package makes it really easy for me to implement an config xml based configparser.
Jeej for python...
Yesterday I've also finished an basic webserver with basic functions. this way I can easy determine what page the user requires and reply with the right page, I still have some work remaining on this part. Also, I still have to make the webserver modular so it can be easily used in other projects.
For now, I'm still wondering what I'll use as template manager or maybe write my own for easy webpage generation based on the server info. I'm also trying to find an easy way to load modules dynamically.
Anyhow, Lot's of progress has been made but we aren't there yet...
Cheers,
Tim
pySM
pySM is an open source project by me, Mathias and Michel. We've managed to link the development to our school project, thereby increasing the chances of actually finishing the project to an excellent product.
More about pySM
pySM is short for python Server Management. Meaningless to say, we're building the project on python code.
We'll try to make an easy and up-to-date tool to manage your personal (or professional - later) server in a plesk-like way. We will try to make a modular system for basic (and simple) support. The main goal for us is to develop a stable and good backbone so the community (yes, you guys!) can help us by adding extra modules for the services you'd like to see supported.
pySM goals
- Easy to maintain
- Modular
- Free and Open Source
- At least similar functionality as plesk (And better!)
- File based configuration (vs the database way)
These are the goals as we're looking at it right now. They _will_ change in the future, certainly with your help.
So, we'll see you at first release date,
Tim.
